INSTALLATION (continued)
WARNING: ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD
All servicing requiring access to non-insulated electrical components must be performed by a
factory authorized technician.
DO NOT open any access panel which requires the use of tools. Failure to follow this warning
can result in severe electrical shock.

CAUTION:
ELECTRICAL
SHOCK HAZARD
The ground lug of the fryer

suitable building electric
ground.
IMPORTANT:
Damage due to being
connected to the wrong
voltage or phase is NOT
covered by warranty.
NOTE:
Fryers are shipped from the
factory with the basket lift in
the UP position.
FRYER ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
Countertop autolift fryers must be connected directly to a suitable
electric circuit. Conduit and strain relief must be provided by the
electrician. Refer to nameplate for voltage and amperage requirements.
Single phase fryers require a 208VAC or 240VAC 1ø circuit with gound.
Three phase fryers require a 208VAC or 240VAC 3ø ciruit with ground.
Raise the element head, remove the frypot and the cover at the rear of
the fryer to gain access to the terminal block. The electrical inlet is
provided by a knock-out in the rear panel.
If an equipment shutdown interface is required by local fire code, the
flame sensor terminal block may be accessed by removing the back
panel. Replace the jumper of the terminal block with wiring to a normally
closed contact of the building fire management system.
DO NOT connect power to the flame sensor terminal block. Wiring and
contacts must be capable of handling 30 amps.
F-68 and F-88 FRYERS ARE SHIPPED FROM THE FACTORY
WIRED FOR 3ø. Conversion to single phase is the responsibility
of the electrician.

OPERATION
6
NORMAL OPERATION
1. a. Be sure TEMPERATURE CONTROL KNOB is turned to OFF.
b. Lower ELEMENT HEAD into frypot by pulling back on
ELEMENT LIFTING HANDLE, raising ELEMENT HEAD
SUPPORT ROD, then carefully lowering elements into frypot.
2. Fill FRYPOT with commercial-grade liquid shortening to MIN OIL
line. Capacity is 15 pounds (F-58), or 30 pounds (F-68 and F-88).
IMPORTANT: DO NOT overfill frypot. Cold oil will expand as it
heats. Adding too much oil will allow frypot to overflow during
operation. For best results, always use top grade commercial
shortening made specially for frying. Maintain proper oil level in
frypot during operation.
3. Turn TEMPERATURE CONTROL KNOB to desired temperature.
Press HEATER switch to ON position. HEAT INDICATOR will glow.
When oil reaches the desired temperature, heat indicator will go
out. Heat indicator will go off and on during operation as thermostat
cycles to maintain temperature.
For best results: DO NOT set temperature control to a temperature
setting higher than is required for the food product.
4. Load either or both baskets no more than 1/2 full with food product.
DO NOT overload fry baskets. For best results, load baskets
uniformly to half full. Hang the basket on the BASKET LIFT.
5. Set TIMER DIAL to the desired cooking time. Press the red button
on the timer to lower the basket into the hot oil.
When food is cooked, basket will be lifted out of the oil.
Handle the hot basket only by the basket handle.
5. When heat indicator light cycles off, fryer is ready to cook next load.
6. Reduce temperature control to 225ºF during idle periods to save
power and extend life of the oil. Fryer will return to operating
temperature in just a few minutes when needed.
IMPORTANT: Press POWER switch to OFF when raising element
head to avoid injury or damage.
7. Keep fryer clean at all times. Rinse baskets frequently, and dry
thoroughly, in order to prevent oil contamination.
8. Drain the frypot completely after use. Filter the oil daily, or more
often during heavy use.
NOTE: If the oil temperature exceeds 440ºF, the hi-limit safety will shut
down the unit, and light the red TROUBLE light. To reset:
Allow the oil to cool, then press the red button on the back of the
element head until it “clicks” and stays in.
If tripping persists, see Troubleshooting Suggestions, page 9.
DANGER: BURN HAZARD
Contact with hot oil will cause severe burns.
Always wear protective clothing and heat resistant gloves when operating the fryer.
CAUTION:
HOT SURFACE
Exposed surfaces can be hot
to the touch and may cause
burns.

The hi-limit safety is designed to shut down the fryer if the oil temperature exceeds 440ºF. A build-up
of cooking debris between the heating element and the thermobulb of the hi-limit safety will cause the
hi-limit to trip prematurely. Clean the element so that oil may circulate freely between the element
and the thermobulb. Reset the safety by pressing the red button on the bask of the element head.

A build-up of cooking debris between the heating element and the thermobulb temperature control
thermostat will cause inconsistent temperatures. Clean the element so that oil may circulate freely
between the element and the thermobulb.
